SEAT-PAD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 112, 11918.

Application filed March 3, 1916. Serial No. 81,941.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM ELWYN EVANS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Attica, in the county of Fountain and State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Seat-Pads, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to seat pads, and

-m0re particularly to the class of cushions or covers for seats of agricultural implements, such as mowers, binding machines, rakes and the like.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a seat cushion or cover of this character wherein the construction thereof is novel in form to give comfort to the operator of the implement when occupying the seat.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a cushion or cover of this character which can be conveniently fastened in place upon the seat for use.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a cushion or cover of this character which is simple in construction, thoroughly efficient in use, strong, durable and inexpensive in manufacture.

The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts exemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a farm implement seat, showing the cushion or cover constructed in accordance with the invention applied thereto;

Fig. 2 is a plan View of the cushion or cover, with the outer casing or covering partly broken away; and

Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

Referring to the drawing in detail, there is illustrated an ordinary sheet metal seat 5 of the type commonly employed with wheeled farm implements. The body of this seat is preferably provided with ventilating openings 6 and is supported in the usual manner upon the implement, the seat being merely shown to insure a clear and accurate understanding of the construction and manner of use of the cushion or cover hereinafter fully described.

lhe cushion or cover comprises a pad including sheet cotton 7 and top and bottom fabric sections or pieces 8, which are stitched together marginally thereof, the sheet cotton 7 constituting a filling between the sections or pieces and to prevent the lumping or displacement of the cotton 7 there are formed spaced rows of stitching 9 which are arranged in series at right angles to each other in quilt-like fashion.

This pad is introduced into a waterproof covering 10, preferably made from canvas, which is correspondingly shaped to the pad, the shape of the latter and the said covering being identical to the conformation of the seat on which the same is to be used. Integral with or mounted upon the covering are straps 11 which are disposed at the rear of the cushion or cover and are provided with eyes 12, through which is adapted to be trained suitable cord for the fastening of the cushion or cover to the seat, the cord being preferably trained through the openings 6 formed in the seat, and the ends of the said cord tied in the usual manner, although if desired the ends of the cord can be wrapped about the post or support for the seat and tied as usual.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and manner of use of the invention will be clearly apparent and, therefore, a more extended explanation has been omitted.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

The combination with a metallic seat formed with a plurality of openings adjacent the rear end thereof, of a cushion for such seat comprising a cotton filled covering conforming in shape and size to the ing and adapted tobe removably connected seat and accurately bearing on the surface through the openings in the seat proper. 10 thereof throughout the seat, and a wholly In testimony whereof I aflix my signature independent outer cover-mg made from in presence of two witnesses.
